All the translators are doing great work +and I hope we'll be able to turn on a few other langauges relatively soon. + +Apart from [open issues](https://github.com/freesewing/site/issues), +we also still have to port some of the documentation to the new site, +which is something that we'll continue to work on in June. Speaking of which: + +## Looking ahead to June + +Don't expect any ground breaking changes in June. We're going to keep on ironing out the +last kinks on the site, and continue to port the remaining documentation that's still +missing from the site. + +I can't — and won't — make any promises and expect other people to keep them, so while I can't +commit to any translation work, great strides are being made in the French and Swedish translations, +so that's all very exciting. + +I'm also thrilled that this translation work is turning out to be a good on-ramp for people +with no prior experience as open source contributors. Not only that, but translators are now +actually fixing small bugs left and right which is really terrific. + +Obviously there's a lot of work that remains to be done, so if you're still standing on the +sidelines wondering whether this is something for you, don't be shy. +[Stop by our chat room to say hello](https://discord.freesewing.org/), we don't bite ☺️ +
